Amico Amore²⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Kai Lenihan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer

200/1

Well held in pair of bumpers at the end of 2022 and little impact in pair of AW contests in January back from a year off. Goes hurdling for new yard.

Form: 70/

Dreams Fled Away²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: F Brennan

150/1

One-time fair performer on the Flat but little impact for this yard, including in 2 maiden hurdles this summer.

Form: 68

Holeshot¹⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

100/1

Maiden pointer, fell last time (Apr 21). Fair jumps pedigree but plenty of improvement required now going hurdling.

Intrepide Sud^t¹⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| D

5/2

Fair bumper winner who improved on hurdling debut form when third at Exeter (17f) when last seen in April. Should have more to offer this term and reappears in a very winnable maiden.

Form: 1621/53-

Jumper Madrik³²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: C E Longsdon

11/1

€80,000 buy for top owner from good French family. Easy to back and probably needed the run on debut in 17f Exeter novice hurdle 10 months ago. Not seen again after and might be brought along gradually.

Form: 7-

Law Of The Sea¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams

10/1

Fairly useful staying handicapper on the Flat, best run on reappearance in May. From the family of fairly useful jumper (stayed 3m) Lava Lamp, so plenty of hope for him now switching codes.

Form:

Norn Iron⁵³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: Harry Derham

11/8

Showed a fair bit in Chepstow bumper and 2m Ffos Las novice hurdle towards the end of 2022/23 season for Oliver Sherwood. More to come if all is well, but bred for further and might need this. The betting could guide.

Form: 43/

Sunninghill²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White

10/1

Fair form when making the frame in AW minor events on Flat in 2022 and showed a bit on hurdles debut nearly 2 years on for new yard at Perth (2m) recently, racing rather exuberantly and running out of steam. Could do better.

Form: 4

Yourawizardharry

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin

100/1

£6,000 4-y-o, Hillstar gelding. Dam pulled up sole start in points. Market may guide for this newcomer.

Form:

Elusive Shine¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

100/1

£15,000 half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Palmers Hill (2m-21f winner, by Gold Well). Made frame all 3 starts in Irish points, runner-up on latest (May 18). One to note on hurdles debut.

Form: 44-2

Outer Banks¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

7/1

From the family of fairly useful hurdlers Lisheen Prince (2½m winner) and Jumping Susie (stayed 23f). Made frame both starts in Irish points (latest Apr 27).

Form: 34-

Timely Escape⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn

150/1

Regressive maiden on the Flat and made an unpromising start to his jumps career at Newton Abbot (150/1) 6 weeks ago.

Form: 0

Kissininthebackrow⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| D

12/1

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Rhythm Is A Dancer (21f-3m winner). Fair handicapper on the Flat, looking a real stayer. She could have a future in this sphere and one to note.

Forecasts

Norn Iron (11/8), Jafimgoso (2/1), Intrepide Sud (5/2), Outer Banks (7/1), Sunninghill (10/1), Law Of The Sea (10/1), Jumper Madrik (11/1), Kissininthebackrow (12/1), Holeshot (100/1), Elusive Shine (100/1), Yourawizardharry (100/1), Dreams Fled Away (150/1), Timely Escape (150/1), Amico Amore (200/1)

INTREPIDE SUD took a big step forward when third at Exeter in the spring and should have more to offer, so he might be the way to go returning in a maiden where strong cases can't be made for all that many. Jafimgoso was disappointing on his hurdles debut here in June but is worth another chance for his top yard. Market support for Norn Iron back from a long absence would need noting, while Law of The Sea could have a future in this game.
